Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the host building
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for neighbouring occupiers at 7 Wolston Close, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the original dwelling by appearing as a dominant and harmful addition, combined with inadequate external amenity space falling below Council standards, which together conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
